Must-Watch Movies: The Tomorrow War, The Invisible Man, and More
Hello, readers of Yahoo Entertainment! Brett Arnold here, back with another edition of Trust Me, I Watch Everything. As a film critic who hosts a podcast called Roger (Ebert) & Me, I watch it all so I can bring you recommendations you can trust, and this week there are plenty of movies to put on your radar.
Why you should watch it: The Tomorrow War is a thought-provoking and action-packed film that takes place in a world where humans are recruited to fight in a war against an alien invasion in the future. It's a terrific showcase for Chris McKay's directorial skills and features a strong cast including Chris Pratt, Yvonne Strahovski, and J.K. Simmons. The film is a must-watch for anyone who loves sci-fi and action movies.
How to watch: The Tomorrow War is now in theaters nationwide.
If that's not for you... The New Mutants: A horror-comedy that takes place in a world where a group of young mutants are held in a secret facility and must fight to survive. It's imaginative and funny, but it's not up there with the best of them. The Craft: A classic horror film about a group of teenage girls who form a coven and unleash their powers on those who cross them. It's a solid horror flick that's still entertaining today.

My recommendation: The Invisible Man
Why you should watch it: The Invisible Man is a thrilling and well-made horror film that takes place in the world of a man who becomes invisible after his abusive ex-wife kills herself. It's a great showcase for Leigh Whannell's directorial skills and features a strong performance by Elisabeth Moss. The film is a must-watch for anyone who loves psychological thrillers.
How to watch: The Invisible Man is now available to rent or purchase on digital and on-demand.
If those aren't for you... The Turning: A horror-thriller that takes place in a remote boarding school where a young governess must confront the supernatural forces that are tearing the school apart. It's solid, but not as scary as it could have been. The Cabin in the Woods: A horror-comedy that takes place in a group of friends who go on a weekend getaway to a remote cabin in the woods and discover that they are part of an experiment gone wrong. It's a fun and twisted take on the horror genre.
